It’s the end of Week 2 at the new job[1] and it has been productive. Part of that may be because I ingested a decent amount of coffee. (I can’t get enough Bridgehead coffee and tea after being away from Ottawa for so long – I hope they expand to other cities in the near future.)
Late last week, I got Evergreen set up to act as a Z39.50 server following the instructions on the project’s DokuWiki. SRU worked fine out of the box and Simple2Zoom was easy to install and get working. I was retrieving records with yaz-client in no time.
This week, while testing the server with other Z39.50 clients, I found and fixed a bug in Simple2Zoom that was causing us some minor trouble. The first bug fixed in a new job, however small, is always very satisfying.
[1]: Okay, it’s not really a “new” job – I worked here during my co-op term last fall.
Hey – I just noticed your blog (coming through my Planet Code4Lib feed) and thought I would say hi. I am also a recent library grad (from Dalhousie) working as a systems librarian at Ottawa U. Where are you working? I’d be interested in hearing some of your Evergreen implementation stories.
Sam.
Just a quick follow-up:
Simple2Zoom version 1.04, released in June 2009, includes the fix for the problem described in my post.
